Bordered Gauze
Bordered Gauze – Convenient and Secure Wound Protection
Bordered gauze dressings are highly absorbent pads with an adhesive border designed to simplify wound care. They offer a combination of a soft, non-adherent pad for protection and absorption with an integrated adhesive film or tape to secure the dressing in place without additional tape or fasteners. These all-in-one dressings make wound care faster, cleaner, and more efficient.
Commonly used for post-operative incisions, abrasions, and light to moderate draining wounds, bordered gauze provides gentle cushioning, absorbs exudate, and helps maintain a clean wound environment. The adhesive borders are gentle on skin, making them suitable for sensitive or fragile areas without causing skin trauma during removal.
